You can define separate fields for each of your locales in your search block:

I18n.available_locales.each do |locale|
  # Separate name field for each locale
  text "name_#{locale}".to_sym do
    # read_Attribute is defined by Globalize.
    read_attribute(:name, locale: locale)
  end
  text "description_#{locale}".to_sym do
    read_attribute(:description, locale: locale)
  end
end

When you are doing a search, you have to specify which locale you want to use:

# Search by actual locale
search = Sunspot.search(Profile) do
  fulltext "search term" do
    fields "name_#{I18n.locale}".to_sym,
           "description_#{I18n.locale}".to_sym,
  end
end
